Objective  To explore the change of constitution in thyroid diseases of West China Hospital between 2000 and 2012, in order to provide clinical evidence.
Methods  Clinical data, including gender, age, and pathological diagnosis of patients with thyroid disease who underwent primary thyroid surgery in our hospital from 2000 to 2012 were collected retrospectively and analyzed statistically.
Results  A total of 9 642 patients were enrolled, including 1 893 male patients and 7 749 female patients. The ratio of male to female patients was 1 to 4.09. In male patients, the proportion of thyroid carcinoma were significantly higher than those of female group (P=0.02);in male patients younger than 45 group, the proportion of thyroid carcinoma were significantly higher than those of female group (P<0.01). There was no statistical difference on the proportion between male and female patients older than 45 group (P=0.90). Proportion of thyroid carcinoma, especially proportion of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) increased in general. Proportion of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) increased in general too. HT with thyroid carcinoma accounted for an increasing proportion of all patients with HT. Proportion of nodular goiter (NG) increased at first and then declined. Proportion of thyroid adenoma (TA) decreased on the whole.
Conclusions  Proportion of thyroid carcinoma, especially proportion of PTC increase in recent years on the whole in patients underwent surgery. All these changes need to be given sufficient attention.
